I design interfaces (UI) with the underlying goal of creating satisfying experiences (UX)

I’m a Hardware UX/UI Designer based just outside of Milwaukee, currently shaping the physical and digital interfaces at Milwaukee Tool.

In 2013, while studying at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I founded University Exchange – an exclusive, secure classifieds site locked down strictly to @uwm.edu emails. As a one-person powerhouse, I handled everything from the ground up: website architecture, front-end development, branding, and marketing.

After graduating in 2015, I wrapped up University Exchange to pull double-duty in the agency world. I split my time as a Designer at DRK Creative and a Web Developer at Doubleberry Interactive (conveniently located in the exact same building). Together, we built websites, mobile apps, and trade show experiences. My time there ignited a passion for mobile development, which spilled over into my spare time—resulting in a fully functioning Pokédex app and a disc golf scorecard tracker.

When DRK shifted gears in 2019, I made a pivot of my own. I joined Crescendo Collective as a Front-End Web Developer Intern and quickly climbed (and expanded) my way up the ladder, ultimately earning the roles of Full-Time UX Designer and, eventually, Lead Designer.

In 2022, I swapped the agency life for the world of heavy-duty innovation at Milwaukee Tool. Today, my work bridges the gap between the digital and physical worlds. I design the physical on-tool UI, including button and LED placement, sequences, and iconography. I then use Figma to build the functioning digital interfaces and prototypes that define how our future tools operate. And I love it.
